Fourth Time Lucky for Persian

After race at Naas Sun, 6th Mar, 2011 (1st)

It's overdue. Good ground is the key to her and there's plenty of novices left for her. Once the ground dries up she'll improve a lot. The plan was to make it here. She's a two and a half mile mare really and she doesn't quicken that much but she goes a good pace and keeps it up.

D T Hughes

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 12th Apr, 2009 (1st)

We're lucky to have her and she's a really good mare. We've always thought this was her ground, she won on decent ground at Leopardstown and again here today and hopefully we'll get decent ground when she goes to Punchestown for a 2m 2f Mares Race.

D T Hughes

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 1st Mar, 2009 (1st)

She wants good ground, she finished well on both of her last two runs in the straight when she got the better ground. I'd like to see her go over to Cheltenham for the Mares Hurdle. She wants 2 ¿ miles.
